legend has it it can be seen from outer space but can it be jumped on a skateboard. one world champion attempts seemingly impossible and falls. what happens after may surprise you. i just fell in love with the skateboard when i was maybe 3 years old. more than 30 years later, danny is still not only in love with his skateboard, he s made it his profession. what i do for a living is i have a lot of fun and take a lot of physical abuse at the same time skateboarding professionally. i ve been doing it for 20 years. i love the fact that the skateboard has such an endless amount of potential for creativity. so is the potential for injury. it s not as glamorous as it looks.
and still makes me smile and makes me take pause from time to time. that said, ben and pedro are not resting on their laurels. there are plans in works to continue our search for bigger more beautiful falls. the game is on. the game is on. coming up, a skateboarding legend attempts a jump over a famous site, but a fall threatens everything. it was the most devastating moment ever, the day before going, no way this is over. when caught on camera, the danger zone continues. medicine that can t wait legal briefs there by eight, that s logistics. freight for you, box for me box that keeps you healthy, that s logistics.
rather than sort of something like that. michael is still riding bulls and holds no ill-will toward viking. he says it is all part of the sport. i don t think he was trying to injure me as such. but he was doing what comes naturally to him. he saw it as having a fight. if you go through life too scared to try something, you might as well wrap yourself up in the cut wool. there s an old saying that what doesn t kill you will make you stronger. coming up, a kayaker goes over a 27-foot waterfall. i m standing at pool at the base of the falls looking for some sign of pedro. i don t see anything. when caught on camera, the danger zone continues. e has kif funny looking toes. she s always touching my hair. and she does this dancing finger thing.

as we were waiting for pedro to come around the corner, come out of the trees paddling, i was nervous. i was anxious, i was excited, i was worried. it was definitely high anxiety anticipation for me. it was all i could do to stay focused on the task at hand, which was capturing pedro s descent on tape. ben does just that. he catches pedro approaching the falls, goes over and disappears. i get a fairly steady handheld shot all the way to the base of the falls and then just had to wait and wait and wait. so for probably 20 seconds i m just scanning the pool at the base of the falls waiting to see some sign of pedro, a paddle, a boat, just some color in the pool. i don t see anything. i get ready to put the camera down and repel to the base of the falls to help look for pedro
he sees another snake to his right, slips down, cuts his leg. pedro narrowly survives one of the most dangerous stunts only to walk straight into a cluster of boa constrictors. and he says he just waited there for a second and just had to catch his bearings and be like, okay, you are okay, just get up, you have to walk out of here, you know, you survived the falls, don t let this be the end of you here. he was able to get up after that, calm himself down a bit, avoid a couple more snakes, which ended up being lazy boa constrictors digesting a meal, somewhat harmless boa constrictor, but still a three, four-foot snake is enough to scare any one of us. and, yeah, he ended up from walking out behind the falls and telling us quite a tale. it was an experience that i ll remember for the rest of my life. being a part of a world record-breaking descent was something that is still with me
